Actuaries Institute

Lifelong learning

Professions require members to continue to study throughout their professional lives. This study is often a mixture of formal and informal courses, attendance at conferences, keeping abreast of relevant legislative, social and regulatory changes. Some components are technical whereas other components are the so-called 'soft-skills'. This presentation is an introduction to the professional actuarial model that relies on examination and post-qualification experience as set out in Pegler's 1968 Presidential Address to the Institute of Actuaries. We will explore how the Actuaries Institute can assist its members to wade through the ever increasing amount of knowledge.
